Potassium 2-ethylhexanoate hydrate

CAS: 3164-85-0

Potassium 2-ethylhexanoate hydrate is an organic solvent that is primarily used as a reaction intermediate. It can be used to synthesize benzylpenicillin, which is used as an additive to drugs and other pharmaceuticals. Potassium 2-ethylhexanoate hydrate has been shown to react with potassium clavulanate in the presence of carbon dioxide to form potassium 2-ethylhexanoate, which can be hydrolyzed by base to form benzoic acid. The reaction between potassium 2-ethylhexanoate and potassium clavulanate can also be catalyzed by surface methodology, such as ion exchange resin or activated charcoal. The reaction time and thermodynamic parameters are dependent on the type of catalyst and the reaction conditions. Potassium 2-ethylhexanoate hydrate is not a drug itself but has clinical uses in its reactions with other compounds.
